More formats. More output. Still just playback.
Orbit Lite does one thing well: reliable immersive monitoring. Now it reaches further — ADM, IAMF and Eclipsa, video in sync, and up to 24 channels out — with the same load-it-and-listen simplicity.
Play IAMF & Eclipsa
Open IAMF / Eclipsa Audio files directly, with mix-presentation switching built in.
Video in sync
Load an IAMF / Eclipsa MP4 with a video track and the picture plays locked to the spatial audio — with smooth 4K seeking.
ADM, Atmos & EBU
Drop in any ADM BWF — Dolby Atmos masters and EBU broadcast, with programme and language switching. Rendered by Orbit’s own engine.
Up to 24-channel out
Route to 7.1.4 and well beyond — up to 24 channels of speaker output via OSLS.
Binaural playback
Listen on headphones with clean, non head-tracked binaural rendering.
Apple Spatial Audio
Render through Apple’s Spatial Audio pipeline (macOS only) — hear what listeners hear.
Stereo downmix
Fold down to stereo for a quick check through any output device.
Spatial waveform
A true spatial waveform — HOA and real object motion, rendered accurately.
Object panning
Choose VBAP or LBAP panning in Preferences to match how your content was authored.
Play IAMF today — now with video
Open an IAMF / Eclipsa Audio MP4 with a video track and the picture plays locked to the spatial audio, with smooth 4K seeking and an auto-hiding fullscreen transport.
Orbit Lite is coming to iPad
Take immersive monitoring mobile. Check an ADM master on the move with the same clean playback, routing and Spatial Audio you get on the Mac — soon on iPad.
